Russia's Investigative Committee has opened an investigation into a car bomb explosion in Moscow that injured Sergei Zavorotnyi. This incident marks the second car bomb to explode in the city in two days.
Zavorotnyi is a former political aide to Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and has since become a pro-Kremlin commentator in Russia.
Moscow blames Kyiv for a series of car bombings targeting people linked to the war with Ukraine. While Kyiv rarely claims responsibility for such attacks, Ukrainian forces have previously used similar blasts to show that Russia’s security services are vulnerable.
These events occur as Ukraine and Russia exchanged deadly strikes overnight.
